I'm going to go out on a limb and pretend that you know how to build RPM packages and therefore won't address that too closely, though if you aren't familiar then I recommend GURU Labs rpm guide[0] If you need to sign custom built rpms then you can follow this short how-to[1] but if you are trying to sign your packages with the actual Red Hat signing key (I could have read what you wrote incorrectly, if so then disregard) then that's just not going to happen. Its a secret key for a reason. What you need to do is import the appropriate public keys into rpm for your system (yum can automate some of this, but its not a difficult process.).
